While mid-century Danish classics date back to the 1950s, Muuto focuses on contemporary pieces that preserve that same sense of quiet restraint.
The collection
- Chairs — plastic, wood, or upholstered, paired with slender bases.
- Sofas — modular designs finished in wool or bouclé upholstery.
- Lighting — pendant and table lamps in powder-coated metal.
- Accessories — trays, vases, and textiles in matching muted tones.
Materials and care
The choice of upholstery determines how much upkeep a piece requires.
- Vacuum wool upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment.
- Blot spills immediately; rubbing will press moisture deeper into the fibres.
- Wipe powder-coated metal with a damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners.
- Rotate loose cushions periodically to ensure even wear.
Buying in the Netherlands
